In The Next Boom, Jack W. Plunkett, widely followed analyst and CEO
of Plunkett Research, Ltd., persuasively demonstrates the emerging
trends, technologies and changes that will lead to a new period of
substantial economic growth in emerging nations as well as many of
the world's leading economies. He presents a panorama of carefully
documented developments in areas including energy, health care,
education, demographics, trade, technologies and the
rapidly-growing global middle class-showing how trends in America
and around the world have tremendous synergy that will lead to a
long-term surge in global business. Plunkett supports his theory
through an entertaining analysis of global prospects for what he
defines as the "near future," from 2013-2025. The author explains
opportunities for significant economic growth for America and other
well-developed nations. He also details how mature countries like
the U.S. will face competition of growing intensity in the areas of
higher education, motivated young workforces, entrepreneurship and
government support of business investment. Provocative and
far-reaching, the author demonstrates how The Next Boom and its
underlying causes will have a deep, evolutionary effect on all of
us. The Next Boom, with its powerful and optimistic vision of the
surprising changes ahead, arrives at a timely juncture. Plunkett
details the most exciting technologies for the future, including
those in which America has a solid lead: nanotechnology, remote
wireless sensors and biotechnology. At the same time, he shows how
America is one of few nations with a rapidly growing population,
and explains how this can be a tremendous economic advantage by
providing both a vital young workforce and a growing tax base. The
next billion consumers will soon emerge on a worldwide basis. The
author details how and why this continued growth of the global
middle class will vastly increase demand for goods and services,
attracting ever-greater innovation, competition and global trade.
Plunkett is not suggesting that you look at the world through
rose-coloured glasses. Instead, he believes that you will benefit
most from the state of the world today by understanding the
changes, challenges, opportunities and risks that are occurring
around you in order to prepare yourself for The Next Boom. The book
includes a reading group guide for book club use and discussion. In
addition, the author has produced a series of 10 short videos, each
one related to a chapter in The Next Boom. Links to the videos are
included within the book, and they can also be found on YouTube.
